I've been taking Klonopin or yes it is now called and generic clonazepam since 1994 I took three doses a day I just nature of the thing started missing my noon day middle of the day dose and when I mentioned it to my psychiatrist he said that was fine he said the least that you can get by with the better but he also told me not to try to go off of it all together so I guess the thing to do is to try to reduce it with the doctor's help I wouldn't I wouldn't take advice from the Internet or from people because everybody's different and they doctor should know you and should know your case and hopefully you have the same doctor or you've had a doctor that said our psychiatrist that knows what to tell you and how to do it my wife went from Xanax to clonazepam and she's been doing good that way I pray for the best for you may Lord God help you

Thank you for your response.
I will consult with my doctor because I have my RLS to deal with.
I never realized how serious this medication is. I just took it and trusted my doctor.
Now I have to talk to my husband about weaning off.
He is oblivious when it comes to medications.
I feel embarrassed…I can’t tell my friends/ family.
I’m nervous about the withdrawals that will come with this and how will it affect my lifestyle.
I never wrote on social media before, so thank you to everyone who responded.

Unfortunately people are forced to take advice from the internet because the majority of doctors have absolutely no idea how to successfully taper their patients off the physchiatric medications that they prescribed. Sad but oh so true.
